Calling Major Tom

2017 | Fiction & Poetry

Calling Major Tom is a heartwarming, quirky and ultimately life-affirming story of friendship, family and forgiveness - and the world's most unlikely astronaut. The perfect book club read for fans of A Man Called Ove, A Boy Made of Blocks and Jojo Moyes. A man who has given up on the world. Forty-something Thomas is very happy to be on his own, far away from other people and their problems. A family who show him how to live. But beneath his grumpy exterior lies a story and a sadness that is familiar to us all. And he's about to encounter a family who will change his view of the world...for good.
